What Does VP Stand For?

VP stands for Verification Polarization

Verification Polarization (VP) refers to the phenomenon where individuals' beliefs and opinions become increasingly entrenched as they seek out and emphasize information that confirms their pre-existing views. This cognitive bias can lead to a divide in perspectives, as people filter and interpret information in ways that reinforce their positions, often disregarding contradictory evidence. VP is particularly relevant in contexts such as political discourse, social media interactions, and group dynamics, where confirmation bias can amplify polarization and hinder productive dialogue.
